Re: Radiator Replacement

My son put an aluminium in his 77 k5 two years ago, he has had no problems, and it gets really hot here in Phoenix.

Re: Radiator Replacement

I just installed an all-aluminum one in my truck. Just run distilled water to help with corrosion.

Re: Radiator Replacement

So just use one gallon of Summer Antifreeze and the rest distilled water? Sounds like a plan, It should be here friday by Fed Ex. The factory one was over 300 bucks.
